...The wee ones simply want to be loved. 
Or at least get a glimpse from 
a {smart}phoned adult.
They wish for a sandbox with a playmate or two.
A warm peaceful bath
every bubble filled with 
a fairy...

*** A DAISY TALE ***

A single, wild, tiny daisy
Less than a thumbnail in size, swaying side to side
In the slight, burning whiffs of a summer’s breeze,
Growing out from next to the house,
From the corner where...

How you came to be here
I just don’t know
But now it feels like
You were always there
A stranger in the darkness
Waiting for the light of love to show
How you’ve always been there
Someone I have...

The long years are harsh where the hot sun does burn
on the sand hills and plains when seasons won’t turn
where saltbush and samphire do somehow survive
and through these hot days there seems little alive.

But shade...

Not a cloud in the sky,
Sunday chicken set to fry.
That is how I recall those Summer days.

Playing ball just for fun,
ice cream when the day is done..
Watching my freckles pop out from the suns rays

Where do we go from here
Feeling confused and unclear
Needing to be reassured
Yet sensing I'm being ignored
You say that you love me but
Your affection appears shut
Whatever I say or do
..........It doesn't matter to you

Inside I feel...

She sings in soft tones,
her magic exists beyond the obvious.
Listen closely to her wanting,
She is wrapped in a trancendent light.

A dreamer,
chasing white rabbits.
Grasping for the infinite,
with delicate hands.

A moth, 
Dances within her luminosity.
Flying on yesterday's...

clothes pin dolls donning hand sewn clothes
souls made of papyrus ,hearts carved in oak
mountain folk know things that you'll never know

The last one home.

I walked along the old canal, watching the fishes play,
Dragged my feet and contemplate, as went along the way, 
Let my mind go wandering, adventures for to see,
Batman, Superman, Robin hood all...

Remembering Me

I dreamed of you once
You were just a child
Running through a field
Hair; tangled and wild

Reflections of the sun
Danced across your face
And I wondered aloud
How do I know this place

You sat down cross-legged
Under a magnificent...

But our ancestral past
won’t let the future children

Inklings of Love
 Love is a never ending daisy chain
Lovely as damselfly sparkling with dew
Joyful as rainbows in sky after rain.

Cherish that you have a treasure so true
Celebrate that her love glitters and glows

Dozing off behind the wheel 
Sleep-deprived decapitated 
Dillaudid consequences 

Incarcerate 
Betrayed confidences 
 Incriminated 
Responsibility blotted 

Dead friends 
Incinerated 
In reality 
They rotted 

Alive. 

Years prior to demise. 
Burnt bridges. Dead ends. 
A hell we...

Years gone by and we are all still fools 
For the silly things we laughed at school

Changes in weather are mostly to cold.
So much harder to do as we grow old.

Lay back on the grass softly green,
Squint till sky is blue and hazy;
Spreading fingers feel now between,
Finding a small wild blue daisy.

Pluck the flower and give a twirl,
“Loves me or not”, the petals pluck;
Pretending I...
